Translation: I'm in Prague at the moment and have been here since Sunday. Tomorrow we're heading to Berlin for New Years and that just reminded me I haven't booked my ticket back home yet... Oh well, everything is wonderful of course (except the cold).Hope you have some time for a good rest and all the best for the new year!

Translation: It was my last day at IKEA Communications today. After 7 years within the company it's time to move on to new challenges. The 10th of January I'm starting my new exciting job at 'Yourlife' in Stockholm. Wonderful!It is of course no joy in saying goodbye, but sometimes you have to be brave and make changes, and I'm sure I will meet many of those I've worked with again. Tonight I've made granola, wrapped gifts and caught up on a Swedish show called 'Morden i Sandhamn' (Sandhamn murders). Might as well be effective while I have the chance. I'm convinced I will get the rest that I need in only a few days. Take care out in the cold!

Translation: Hope you've all had a lovely weekend. As a matter of fact, mine was quite productive (yes, they are way too often very lazy), so this Monday is a good Monday. On the other hand, it's Christmas Eve on Friday (dear oh dear), so this week looks a little different than normally. Although I am fearing the moment I have to say goodbye to a whole bunch of colleagues and friends, my last day at IKEA is getting very close. Oh well, we're a nice group going out for dinner tonight, and that will be truly appreciated. Ciao!

Translation: I almost forgot, it's the 4th of Advent today. I probably wasn't the only one realizing it's short of time to prepare everything for Christmas and went out shopping. But the atmosphere wasn't stressful at all (believe it or not), maybe because it's Sunday after all?Happy Advent!

Translation: Sundays are for brunch. Enjoy a long, relaxing morning with good food and the morning paper. My Sunday morning looks a bit different with laundry and yoghurt, but that's fine too.Will continue this day doing baking, exercise and some more Christmas shopping. Have a lovely day.

Translation: Usually I have great Fridays, but today was an exception. Only setbacks throughout the day. Apart from the evening - it was fabulous! And I realize I am going to miss Anna and Fredrik terribly when I move. Uncomfortable. Have good night, and wishing you a lovely weekend.

Translation: Went to a new restaurant in Malmö yesterday with Annie and Stina. Really nice interior, good food, friendly staff and cosy atmosphere. The wine was a bit overpriced, otherwise I truly recommend you to visit Rebell on Friisgatan 8.

Translation: Not many days left at work now before Christmas and my last day at IKEA. Feels weird. My parents are coming visiting today. Will show them around the office and take a walk in the studio where there's some action going on at the moment. Fun!Have a nice Wednesday!

Translation: Cold day today, thought my nose would fall off for a while, but it was nice enough to stay in place. Work gave us delicious saffron buns today, I could've eaten at least 15, but thought my collegues would probably want some too...Tried to keep myself warm with gym and tea today, and layers. Always layers, never enough. Happy Lucia!.

Translation: The winter is back after a very mild day yesterday. I will go and try out some winterjackets today and hopefully return home with a thick cosy one that will keep me warm without fourteen layers of sweaters underneath.Although this Sunday is a bit different considering what has happened in Stockholm. It's hard to believe there's been an attack against our little 'lagom' country. Terrible.

Translation: Christmas party with ICOM (IKEA Communications) yesterday, and damn what a good party. Amazing food, lots of laughs, dancing and pictures taken. Me and Annie laughed to tears this morning when we looked through them. Some collegues look a bit tired today, and some haven't even showed up yet... Yesterday Henrik took some really cool pictures of me, Stina and Annie in the studio which I will show you eventually. As a fun thing before I make my way to Stockholm. It's getting closer, and I'm excited!

Translation: Back home and swinging in the kitchen. After an inspiring lunch with Vanessa I'm trying to make a granola that she recommended. So far the smell in the kitchen is lovely. Later I will continue with some creative work including Xmas gifts and logotype. Have a nice evening!

Translation: Have spent some quality time with friends this weekend, and today I've done a whole lot of have-to-deal-with stuff like laundry and divided a pile of papers into different folders. Think I will spend the rest of the day on the couch, and heat up some glögg to celebrate 2nd Advent.Hope you're having a cosy warm evening.

Translation: Writing. But not on a typewriter like this, just simply on my companion the macbook. But I would like an old typewriter. Much more feeling in those, and feel somehow more for real. And the lovely typeface. And ink that'll have to dry before I fold the paper and put it in an envelope. Lovely.

Translation: Fridays are lovely. Almost weekend with long lovely breakfasts. Unfortunately my man are going back to Berlin already tomorrow, and then another 3 weeks of unbearable longing for his love. Tonight we're heading to the Xmas markets and some valuable quality time. Have a nice Friday lovlies!
